Energy Purees

What are energy purees? 

Baouw organic energy purées are unique recipes that can be adapted to your every need. Baouw offers you practical and tasty alternatives, with no added sugar, both fruity and savoury, to eat during exercise or as a healthy snack.

Energy compotes like no other (or rather purées, as they have no added sugar)! Little gourmet gourds concentrated in packaging made from 85% plant-based ingredients (mainly sugar cane). Recipes devised by our two Michelin-starred chef, just like our organic energy bars. During exercise, these energy purées are an alternative to over-chemical products made mainly from glucose syrup. We've created the first natural energy compote! 100% healthy, certified organic, of course. 

Why use organic energy compotes for sport? 

Our compotes, in fact, purees, are sugar-free and ORGANIC. How did they come about? It was our ultra-endurance athletes who initially requested them. Xavier Thévenard, three-time winner of the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc®, as well as Ugo Ferrari in trail running, or Julien Chorier for his Marathons des Sables and other extraordinary adventures! After 10 hours of effort, it indeed becomes complicated to eat. Chewing requires effort during effort. And the puree, well... it goes down easily! By the way, you have probably noticed our different organic puree recipes. Among them, the trail energy puree the recipe for our champion Xavier Thévenard's UTMB.

All sportspeople are entitled to their own energy purée!

For the same reason, cyclists have also asked us for these energy puree compotes for sports. A big advantage compared to a traditional gel: we can close them again and… stay clean! Not bad, right, to not get it all over yourself? And besides, organic sport purees are still better than a gel packed with maltodextrin and glucose syrup (that’s actually why the energy gels designed by Baouw do not contain any!). 

And when it comes to energy, what does the Baouw energy purée say? 

Our sport-friendly vegetable compote (sweet potato, carrot) contains the energy equivalent of one of our bars: ideal when chewing becomes an ordeal! During a marathon, for example, or simply if you're in the process of​ resuming running gently, if you need to eat, you can turn to this energy compote. You'll also have the pleasure of alternating between solid and semi-solid foods (hiking, sailing, ultra trail, long cycle tours, etc.). 

A sports energy compote, but for which sports? 

Whatever flavour you choose, our little gourds of energy puree are designed for all sports where chewing is a bit difficult, either because the gesture makes it so... Or because the intensity makes it difficult to eat (in the intense phases of cycling, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, ski-mountaineering...). Or because you want something fresh, food that will also hydrate you, particularly if you're doing sport when it's hot. You can, of course, supplement your personal aid station with our electrolyte tablets, and then it's a guaranteed match made in heaven! Running, tennis, football: it doesn't matter what your favourite sport is! With these organic energy compotes designed for sportsmen and women, Baouw has thought of everything so that everything runs smoothly for you, whether you're training or competing. But the most important thing is to look after yourself, so go and play outside!

*The sport puree is also used as a healthy snack: no added sugars. Our organic energy purees have surprising flavors, but they also stand out for the hint of Kalamata olive oil that our two Michelin star chef has added to the recipe. Indeed, this oil, in addition to its benefits, gives each energy puree a taste and texture that delights the taste buds, both during physical activity or as a healthy snack in daily life. The variety of recipes also helps to avoid saturation from overly sweet flavors during long efforts, by alternating between fruity and savory purees.
